A contradiction of Heisenberg uncertainty principle??
Suppose an atom is cooled to 0 K (Practically impossible). However theoretically, all its motion will cease ; and therefore it will be possible to determine the exact position of the atom and exact velocity (which is zero).Doesn't this contradict the Heisenberg uncertainty principle which states that it is impossible to determine the exact position and velocity of an object.
Please clarify the situation
